Chapter 278 The Decree of Divine Authority
"presumptuous!"
Nine divine rays emanated from the four supreme holy pillars and the ninth level of hell.
War, fate, death...
The power of various laws descended from the void, and the nine supreme beings joined forces to attack the Zerg Overlord.
"Get out of my way!"
With an angry roar, hundreds of blood-red tentacles suddenly lashed out.
Satan and Losia, who were at the forefront, were instantly blasted away, crashing through seven layers of hell before being pulled back by tens of thousands of bone dragons.
Seeing that things were not going well, the other six people slipped behind the beast that quelled the abyss.
This terrifying behemoth was created by the third emperor at great cost to suppress the abyss. Although its strength is far inferior to its opponent, its defense and recovery capabilities are astonishing.
Hundreds of tentacles pierced its body, but were instead locked tightly by its bones and flesh.
"A great opportunity!"
A strange fire flickered in Death's eyes, and a gigantic phantom rose behind him, gripping his scythe and severing two of them.
The other five also used their own methods to desperately destroy the tentacles.
But for the Zerg Overmind, who can devour everything and convert it into energy, this injury is nothing to worry about.
The tentacles that had pierced the body of the Abyss-Suppressing Beast suddenly writhed and opened countless blood-red teeth, frantically biting and devouring the surrounding flesh.
The severed tentacles quickly reformed and were flung over.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the group retreated behind the Zhenyuan Beast without hesitation.
Only Loshia, who had just returned to the battlefield, and Satan, defying all odds, activated their domains and clashed head-on.
Bang!
With a deafening roar, the two were sent flying backward at an even greater speed. This time, even tens of thousands of bone dragons couldn't stop them. They finally came to a stop when they crashed into the Paladin's Pillar in the Paradise District.
"So the difference between the highest and the highest is this great."
Standing atop the sacred mountain, Jiang Yan watched this scene with some surprise.
Even with the combined efforts of the nine top-tier experts, they were unable to pose an effective threat for the time being and could only barely hold them off.
No wonder the two major pantheons, Holy Light and Undead, went so far as to forcibly seize divine positions, while the other hundreds of pantheons only dared to protest verbally.
"Ifina, help me out!"
Losia shook her head violently, flapped her wings, and still flew forward defiantly.
"good."
A twelve-winged angel holding a scepter rapidly chanted a spell:
"Life only truly blossoms when it withers!"
The Elegy of the End, the core ability of the Archangel who holds the divine authority of life and redemption, has the effect of achieving a certain possibility at the cost of sacrificing a portion of one's own life force.
Also known as the "Life-Saving Technique," the more money you spend, the stronger the effect.
"Exchange a million years of life force for an increase in power!"
With a flick of her scepter.
Ifina's immense life force suddenly plummeted, while in contrast, Losia's aura surged instantly.
A golden light shot into the sky, instantly activating the holy war.
"cut!"
Holy light condensed into a ten-thousand-foot-long sword, which suddenly slashed forward. The dazzling sword light pierced through the starry river and instantly severed more than a dozen tentacles.
"Hmm... he's gotten that much stronger all of a sudden?"
The Zerg Overlord glanced sideways and deployed half of its tentacles to attack.
At this moment, with her strength surging, Losia was finally not sent flying by a single blow. She simultaneously conjured a greatsword and a shield, carefully counterattacking while dodging and defending. Although she was in grave danger for a time, she managed to hold off her opponent.
"Your Majesty Losia remains as reliable as ever."
The others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they are equally powerful, they are not good at being tanks who can take the hits head-on. Now that she has taken on half of the pressure from the Abyss Beast, they can focus on preparing powerful spells.
The situation reached a stalemate for the time being.
The attacks from the crowd were utterly ineffective against the Overlord, who could devour almost everything.
The opponent also found it difficult to surpass the nine supreme beings for a time.
Seeing all this, Jiang Yan frowned slightly.
The power above him was beyond his expectations; if the fight continued like this, the final outcome would be unpredictable.
The current cycle seems perfect, but the conversion efficiency of the reincarnation pool is not perfect. Every time a dead warrior is resurrected, he needs to replenish some energy himself.
Although extremely small, based on this quantity, if it continues for too long, even he cannot afford it.
On the contrary, the opponent was able to perfectly devour all energy, and while fighting against the nine supreme beings, they were still able to continuously maintain the hatching of the swarm.
Although he could wait for Losia's strength to continue to improve, she has only shown one ability so far, and who knows what trump cards she has up her sleeve.
We can't delay.
Jiang Yan quickly made a decision in his mind.
Natural disasters and the Book of Creation appeared in his hands at the same time.
He stepped out from the summit of the sacred mountain, his feet treading on the void, and walked forward step by step, saying calmly:
"Step down."
"Yes, Holy Lord/Emperor."
Upon hearing this, the group, who were engaged in a fierce battle, did not hesitate. They used all their strength to force back the tentacles in front of them, and then flashed back to the Holy Pillar and the Nine Levels of Hell.
"Want to decide the outcome with one blow... then come on."
The Zerg Overlord did not pursue; its hundreds of tentacles intertwined and gradually merged into a blood claw that blotted out the sky.
At the same time, Jiang Yan gently waved the staff in his hand.
In the name of the Holy Lord of Light...
“Devoted believers…”
"Let us witness together the glory of the Holy Light..."
"I am with you!"
Professional Skill: Divine Decree.
Once activated, all believers will contribute a portion of their power, temporarily gathering it on the user for a maximum of 24 hours. The stronger and more devout the believers, the greater the power they provide.
In an instant, Jiang Yan felt his soul connected with all the believers in the myriad worlds, and countless faint but devout forces converged across time and space.
Faintly, one could hear frenzied shouts.
"For the Holy Light!"
"For the Holy Light!"
“...”
Believers from all the heavens and the myriad worlds... the thirty-six legions of angels... and the powerful seraphim and archangels, offered their devout prayers.
Endless power converged on Jiang Yan, and his vast divine might became even more awe-inspiring.
The entire world gradually became unable to withstand the pressure and began to shatter and collapse, while the raging void currents were suppressed and unable to move.
At this moment, Jiang Yan, whose power had reached a new limit, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He withdrew the holy light-based attack spell he was about to unleash, and channeled all his power into the Heaven and Hell of reincarnation. He coldly said:
"town!"
In an instant, enveloped in dazzling divine light, the billions of insect swarms in Heaven and Hell were instantly annihilated, and the entire cycle of reincarnation crashed down upon the opponent with unstoppable force.
Let's die together!
The Zerg Overlord roared, and the thirteen phantom Zerg hives behind him transformed into blood-red light that flowed into the claws formed by his tentacles, which he then swung fiercely toward the sky.
This attack completely surpassed the limits of the laws of speed and power. In an instant, billions of claw shadows overlapped together, and a monstrous crimson aura crashed fiercely into the suppressing "Heaven and Hell".
boom!
The world swept by the aftershocks collapsed the instant the two forces collided.
The temporary timeline created by the divine magic was completely destroyed.
